A similar effect was used in analogue photography by putting some stockings on top of the lens. IIRC it is called "flu effect", which seems to be, unfortunately, ungoogleable.

It seems to be referenced on the web, just not as "flu effect"

Such techniques generally are termed "gobos", i.e. "go-betweens".
